After inserting the water container, wait
until the steam ironing system is ready
to use steam. This is indicated by the
Ready for use
message in the display.
If the water container is refilled during
the ironing process, the steam gener-
ator may have to reheat.
Tip: If you fill the water container as
soon as the
Fill water cont.
is displayed and the container is inser-
ted into the tower there is no delay.

steam generator will not be heated and
the inflation and suction function of the
ironing board is not available (see "Act-

Use only fresh tap water.
Water prepared using commercially
available water filters may also be
used.
For water hardness of more than
14°dH / 2.5 mmol/l you can use tap wa-
ter mixed at a 1:1 ratio with distilled wa-
ter. This halves the water hardness. Set
the halved water hardness to the cor-
responding level on the steam ironing
system (see "Setting the water hard-
ness").
If your tap water has a water hardness
of 60°dH / 10.8 mmol/l the mixing ratio
of 1:1 with distilled water results in a
water hardness of 30°dH / 5.4 mmol/l.
The water hardness level that must be
set on your steam ironing system must

Level 7
Never use solely demineralised (dis-
tilled) water to fill the water container.
This can cause the steam ironing
system to malfunction.
Do not use water from a water
softener system.
Do not use condensate (e.g. from
other appliances such as air condi-
tioning units, dryers).
Never use rainwater.
Do not use additives, (e.g. perfumes,
ironing water, starch, carbon diox-
ide).
